Detailed explanation-1: -Earth’s tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun’s most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tilt of Earth’s axis relative to its orbit around the sun results in predictable changes in the duration of daylight and the amount of sunlight received at any latitude throughout a year. These changes cause the annual cycle of seasons and associated temperature changes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Remind students that the two reasons seasons occur are the tilt of a planet’s axis and its orbit around the sun.
